Built for the people who already run a Synology: add a link, keep an eye on progress, and tidy up your queue from anywhere. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every task at a glance — live progress, download/upload speeds, and status. • Add downloads by pasting a magnet or HTTP/FTP link, or by opening a .torrent file. • Pause, resume, and remove tasks — one at a time or in bulk. • Open a task for full details: size, destination, transfer stats, and peers. • Search using the search modules you've configured in Download Station, and queue a result in a tap. • Pick a destination folder by browsing your NAS shares. • Adjust BT transfer limits and see system info like model, DSM version, and temperature. GREAT FOR • Linux distributions and other large open-source images. • Public-domain and Creative-Commons media. • Your own backups, software updates, and personal files. Only add content you own or are authorized to download. NATIVE ON EVERY DEVICE • iPhone & iPad: a clean tabbed app with light and dark themes. • Mac: a proper menu-bar app plus a sidebar window — and it can open magnet links and .torrent files straight from your browser and Finder. • Quick "Recent Connections" so you can hop between servers (passwords stored securely in the Keychain). CONNECT YOUR WAY • On your local network by IP or hostname. • Remotely via DDNS or QuickConnect. • Two-factor authentication supported. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account to create. Your server address, credentials, and downloads stay on your NAS and your device — passwords live in the iOS/macOS Keychain. • Only anonymous, aggregate usage analytics are collected to improve the app. No tracking, no advertising identifiers, no personal data.
